Cooking on a log. :) Please share.
Cut the log evenly on both sides so it stands up freely. Then cut it into vertical segments most of the way down the length of the log. Stuff in some newspaper into the cracks as deep as you can get it, leaving a wick at the bottom, and light it up.
That's all there is to it—the log burns from the inside out, and you have a simple, handmade stove....TA DA ~~ Tonya O'Tinger prostaff

I hear that so much here.

Learn to use your FB right.

I have so many pages that I like that give me a lot information like you posted.
Sites of my hobbies, activities etc, they give me instant updates and new news that I wouldn't normally get. I love it.

Just have to deal with some family BS every now and then chuckle
